Answer:

[tex]3.398x10^{-10}km^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since this is a two-step conversion, we first need to compute the m² and then the km² as shown below:

[tex]3.398cm^2*(\frac{1m}{100cm} )^2=3.398cm^2*\frac{1m^2}{1x10^4cm^2} =3.398x10^{-4}m^2[/tex]

Now from m² to km²:

[tex]3.398x10^{-4}m^2*(\frac{1km}{1000m} )^2=3.398x10^{-4}m^2*\frac{1km^2}{1x10^6m^2}=3.398x10^{-10}km^2[/tex]

Best regards!
